Toy Tuesday: Our Top Picks From Amazon's Summer Toy List

Summer… If you’re a kid, it’s all about freedom, fun, and play. (At least, it should be!)

Just in time for the season of sun, sand, and surf, Amazon.com has launched its first-ever Summer Toy List. It’s an interactive shopping experience that’s meant to help kids and parents make the most of summer. From water and sand toys to activity-based items, these picks will keep kids active, engaged, and stimulated. (And they’ll sleep like babies at night—at least, we can hope!)

The list includes hundreds of hand-picked toys, sorted into activity-focused categories--i.e. toys for road trips, days at the pool, backyard fun, beach trips, and STEM learning—because you’ve got to help avoid the dreaded “brain drain!”

We've done the browsing for you, and rounded up a few of our favorite picks from the Summer Toy List! With a few of these awesome items, summer is going to be super F-U-N.
